Reviews of Javalindra Homestay Tour and Travel

Superb weather, pick and drop, tours, clean environment, relaxing. Specially thankful to Mr. Budi the owner and manager

The owner is super lovely and very helpful when it comes to planning your time in Banyuwangi and the place is in a good location if you wanna visit Ijen. I rented the stuff for Ijen and he hooked me up with the ticket as well and also gave me a ride to the train station (all at additional reasonable charges).

As previously mentioned by others, you get what you pay for.

Price, privacy, location Can rent equipment for Ijen

Cold water, but helps to wake up 😃

The location was peaceful as the host

Just the bathroom, that's all , rest was perfect

Budi is a great host, he picked me up at the ferry station and dropped me at the train station too. He was always asking me if everything was ok. He also offer the tour to Mt Ijen wich was a nice experience even when we had an awful weather.

The tour organization was good, and Mt Ijen is beautiful, but was overcrowded. I don't know if maybe because we did it on weekend but was completely collapsed of people, the way down to see the blue fire was dangerous because the amount of people going in both ways, probably not worth the risk and waking up at 12am just to see the fire. Maybe other tour alternatives as only sunrise or sunset on the crater viewpoint would be nice to avoid the amount of people.

All is the best for akomodation Javalindra Homestay Tour and Travel and very help me fo go to Ijen crater and Guide is good

No.

Budi & his family were extremely kind and helpful. He offered to drive us into the city free of charge, helped us to book the train and also organised our Ijen tour. Highly recommend

Nothing, it’s perfect for the cost

Good location, price-value quality, desire to help from the owner

Furniture condition, cleanliness, lack of toiletries

I had a great stay at Javalindra. For this price you cannot expect luxury, but it had all the right facilities for my time there. The host is amazing, he arranged a tour for Ijen, and also drove me to the train station, he is always there to help you. It's located in a small neighbourhood, there is not much to do around but there are some shops and restaurants close, and it's a great location if your focus is on visiting Ijen. So I really recommend if you're looking for a low budget private room!

The owner was super nice and helpuful, the room is ok for the price you pay, in general really happy with it

We liked our time here. The area on the roof with the pool was a great place to relax. Budi was super friendly and made sure we were comfortable. Booking the Ijen tour through him also turned out great. Excellent value for money.

The lack of air-conditioning got a bit much for the four nights we stayed here. The room was also a bit small for the two of us. Would be fine for one night or one person, though.

We stayed here for 2 nights to do the ijen tour, which we could book through our host easily. The room and facilities are very basic, but we got a free update to a room with a private bathroom, which was nice. The sitting area with a small pool on the roof is a good place to chill and there are affordable restaurants near with good food. The host offered to pick us up and was overall welcoming.

Very basic accommodations, which was okay for a short stay though.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a homestay in Banyuwangi, and I can't recommend it enough! The host was incredibly friendly and always wore a warm smile. He went above and beyond to assist us, offering various affordable leisure options and helping us with transportation to and from our destinations. For the price, we received our own private room with all the necessary amenities, which was simply wonderful. The location is also very convenient, with shops and fruit stalls nearby, and easy access to the main road for exploring the area. A huge thank you to our amazing host for making our stay so enjoyable! If you're looking for a welcoming place to stay in Banyuwangi, this is the perfect spot!

It is little noisy on this neiborghood. But I guess, it's the problem all Indonesia

The homestay is close to the main attraction:Iljen. Budi, the owner, will help you set up the trip and organise it perfectly. The property is basic which the price reflects (another positive) and the service is absolutely five star. We have not encountered a more friendly, helpful and kind host in our time here. He clearly cares about the rich heritage of his community and is proud to show you all the best sites. Budi showed us some of the most beautiful places in East Java (all reasonably priced) and more. If you are keen to experience the best of East Java, I would recommend staying in this homestay for two or three days whilst enjoying the warmth and hospitality of the homestay owner.

Amazingly kind host at your service. Budi picked me up at the bus terminal for the fair price and offers the tours to Iljen as well. Very low price with cheap but delicious breakfast. You could also use a small pool upstairs. Free drinking water available from.the big bottle.

Both the stay and the host himself were exceptional. The host would contact prior to your arrival to see if there is anything you might need such as pick-up or to provide details for the Ijan tour. I recommend booking pick-up with the host since it is cheaper than the Grab. Also if you are coming from Bali, the host offers to help you book ticket for the ferry online, and can pay him in cash later. I did the Ijan tour provided by the homestay and would definitely recommend it. The tour bus would come and pick you up in front of the house and would drop you back there. The tour guides are very friendly and enjoy taking photos for the tourists (which left me with plenty of photos for my Insta haha). Also, they do not rush with hiking, they stop for the breaks multiple times so the tourists don't exhaust themselves, and keep asking if you are okay, or if you need any breaks, so there's no need to worry for those who are not physically fit.

None

The location The food

Owner is nice, can book tour, rent scooter or do laundry (extra costs). Price is very cheap.

Impossible to sleep cause to a wedding rave party next door for 3 days, even the bed was moving du to vibrations. No refund options available for it.

They offer very decent accommodation for the price, don’t expect any luxury but I’m guessing you don’t! They have a swimming pool on the top floor which is a nice touch. They offer a fairly priced group tour to Ijen, which was my reason for picking this homestay. And the brothers running it are very kind!

Close to 0 water pressure, so taking a full body shower took close to 15-20 mins and it’s a bit hot at night

Budi and his family do everything to make your stay and trip to Mt Ijen as pleasant as possible. They offer everything needed to visit the volcano from pick ups and drop offs at the train station/Harbor over gas masks and flashlights to all inclusive tours. I decided to organise myself more individually but they always kept being really supportive in a very personal and matey way. Cosy double fan rooms with private bathroom and a roof top terrace with a little pool are unbeatable for that price.

Budi is really very nice guy, very helpful. Very nice the little pool at the third floor where you can relax your legs after long walk

The room with air condition is better to have a fan... air conditioned was not working very well

It's a great stay if you want to go to Ijen. Outside of the busy city, but not too far if you need anything and close to ijen (about 30min drive). You can rent a scooter, mask, flashlight here or book a tour to Ijen for a very good price. Budi, the owner is very helpful, answering all the questions and willing to help with anything you need. I arrived early in the morning and was allowed very early check-in, and again, I was allowed very late checkout as I was waiting for a night bus. I also enjoyed relaxing at the rooftop terrace. Free drinking water is also available.

Bathroom is a little small and not very well organised, but not a big issue, considering the price. Overall, it's a good value for money.

It’s a good place to stay if you want to do the Ijen tour. The host is very nice and helpful. I was travelling by bicycle and had no issues with storing it safely inside the place. They added a nice touch with the swimming pool on the rooftop, all lit up at night. It’s basic but it’s all I needed.

Well, a chunk of it it’s a construction site. Hopefully they’re going to finish it, I think it’s worth it.

This hostel makes you feel at home. I was picked up by the hostel owner Budi from the ferry port, got an upgrade to an even bigger room free of charge and instantly met other nice travelers. After I booked a motorcycle and the Ijen tour for the next day, totally uncomplicated and spontaneous, I sat on the cool rooftop area, which even has a small swimming pool! In this hostel you will never feel alone. You can buy the best breakfast for only 15.000 and ask everything about booking busses, tours or whatever you want to do. Budi will help you, or organize it for you :)

The only small critique I have, is that the bathroom doesn't have a sink. But there is a faucet in the wall, so you can still do everything you would do with a sink ^^
